Speaker Insights from Business, Politics and Security

Jörg Kukies: Economy, Financial Markets and Political Responsibility

Jörg Kukies combines international financial market expertise with high-level political experience. As a former State Secretary, German Finance Minister and Germany Co-Head of Goldman Sachs, he discusses Germany’s growth prospects, the future of European capital and the role of financial markets in a global context in his lectures. His keynotes illustrate the close intertwining of economic dynamics and political decisions and the consequences for companies and decision-makers.

Barbara Frenkel: Leadership, Transformation and Global Supply Chains

Barbara Frenkel shaped the car manufacturer Porsche for more than two decades, most recently serving as the first woman on the Porsche AG Executive Board, where she was responsible for procurement and supply chains. In her lectures, she discusses strategic leadership in times of global upheaval, resilient value creation and managing geopolitical dependencies. Another focus of her keynotes is diversity as a success factor in modern organisations, and the role of leaders in transformation processes.

Sigmar Gabriel: Geopolitics and Global Power Shifts

Sigmar Gabriel has many years of experience in high-level politics, having served as Vice Chancellor, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Minister for Economic Affairs. Today he is Chairman of Atlantik-Brücke e.V., and in his keynotes he analyses geopolitical developments and their impact on business, security and society. Using clear and accessible language, he classifies international power shifts and highlights the associated challenges and opportunities.

Florence Gaub: Security Policy and Dealing with Uncertainty

Florence Gaub combines security policy expertise with futures research. As Director of Research at the NATO Defence College, she analyses geopolitical risks and strategic uncertainty beyond alarmism. In her lectures, she demonstrates why uncertainty is not exceptional, but a core element of our reality, and how organisations can learn to work productively with it. Her keynotes offer new insights into defence capability, Europe’s role, and strategic decision-making.
